[GNC] followup about 'how to remember an interest account'

[Adrien Monteleone]

Paul,

Here is info from the Help Manual Chapter 5:

"The Payment From pane contains a list of accounts where you can select the source account.

	Note
If the payment is for a credit or loan account then usually the payment would be from an Expense account. If the payment is for a checking or savings account then usually this would be from an Income account.”

What is the incorrect account that the window is preselecting? Is it an income account?

Savings accounts usually earn interest, while credit accounts usually cost you interest.

Also, please when sending a ‘follow up’ like you did here, do not change the subject line, just reply to the same thread. Otherwise, you end up with two threads neither of which have all the info in them. Someone might not see one or the other when replying.

Regards,
Adrien
